Each program is designed to translate evolving science into clear\, practical information grounded in local experience. \nThis series is intended for residents\, outdoor workers\, families\, healthcare providers\, and anyone seeking reliable\, Island-specific insight into tick-borne disease. The goal is not fear\, but understanding—because informed awareness remains one of the most effective tools we have. \n————————- \nSingle speaker events are virtual\, on Zoom\, from 5:00-6:00pm.
